How can I set from my program the item selected in a DataComboBox Control?

I think I used to know this but couldn't see it in help, either.

I'd like a certain item to be selected as a default choice in the
DataCombo when the user enters the program. The combo is working fine
I just don't know how to set the selection.

Thanks for any advice.

Since the DBCombo is bound to a Data control, you have
to manipulate the Data Control to have the DBCombo
respond as desired:

Private Sub Form_Load()
Data1.Refresh
Data1.Recordset.Move 3 '4th item
End Sub

I finally found in the help (who would have thunk it was the text
property?) that you can set the combo selection for the dataCombo by
setting the text property to the selection you want.

DC.Text = "Apple" sets the selection to Apple, assuming that
apple is in the list for the combobox.
